Balarithdil

"Delicate bones, the price we pay for grace, longevity and being able to reach things on high shelves -" Balarithdil is saying to himself, until the imminent skeleton attack interrupts his train of thought.

"Here, the earth will aid you!"

Casting Rock Skin on Hrothgar. I think I have line of sight.

The skeleton at B10 attacks Hrothgar: 1 skull vs. 2 white shields = 0 damage. (I forgot Rock Skin, but it didn't matter.)

That's it for me.

Skeleton v Hrothgar: 2#1d6 4 3 2#1d6 5 5

Hrothgar the Mighty

"Thank you, Balarth...Blara...thank you, elf!" Hrothgar shouts as he ducks the swing from the skeleton.

Attack Skeleton at d10 - 2 skulls vs 0 black shields

It's dead again. Do you all want me to step up and take the mummy's attack, or does anyone want to try to kill it this round? Assume I moved to d10 if you want me to defend or back to c8 if you want a shot at it. Either way, the top skeleton is free to attack.

"Well fought!" the elf calls helpfully from the previous room.

Just sitting tight for this turn, I don't think there's anything productive I can do.

Lager: Mar 9, 2004; Give me the secret to the anti-puppet equation!

Isvior

Isvior flips through his spell book, but fails to find anything that will help the situation at hand. Instead, he joins the elf in cheering on his valiant companions.

"Yes, yes! Well fought indeed! Watch your flank!" Isvior then lands on the page for a timely healing spell...just in case.

Skipping as well. I'm assuming the barbarian is sitting tight at D10 defending against the mummy?

# ? Feb 7, 2016 17:12

IPlayVideoGames: Nov 28, 2004; I unironically like Anders as a character.

Yeah, I'll block the mummy at d10.

# ? Feb 7, 2016 18:42

5-Headed Snake God: Jun 12, 2008; Do you see how he's a cat?

The mummy, predictably, attacks Hrothgar: 0 damage. :mad:

It stays where it is.

Hrothgar the Mighty Rock

"Ha HA!" hoots Hrothgar as his stony physique deflects the mummy's swing.

Attack mummy - 1 skull vs 1 black shield.

Move to B9. I assume you all want me out of the way as opposed to standing there with it. I'll stay at d10 if you do.

Isvior

Isvior mutters an incantation, gesturing towards the dwarf as water shoots from his outstretched palm.

"Let the water flow into your wounds, to cleanse your body!"

Casting Water of Healing on Mardibeth, take 4 hit points!

Hrothgar the Mighty Rock

Hrothgar was ready for that swing, stepping to the side and sticking his foot out, sending the mummy dropping to the stone floor.

Darting in, he grabs his sword in both hands, planting a foot on the mummy's stomach and, with one overhead chop, takes its head.

He gives the wrapped corpse a kick and spits on it for good measure.

Use Dodge and Trip to nullify that hit.

"Skillfully done!" the elf applauds from around the corner.

If Mardi opens the chest and nothing out of the ordinary happens, backtracking to D4 on my turn:

Movement: 2d6 7

If she finds monsters or a trap, I'll cancel that, otherwise I just wanted to get this in now to avoid slowing us down.

Isvior

Isvior absentmindedly wanders back towards the hallway, flipping through his spell book as he mutters.

Move Roll: 2d6 7

Heading back to E4. Assuming nothing horrible happens to the dwarf, that is.

5-Headed Snake God: Jun 12, 2008; Do you see how he's a cat?

Reminder: you do not have to move adjacent to a piece of furniture to find treasure in it. Nor, for that matter, can you actually search a piece of furniture. Searching for treasure anywhere in a room automatically checks the whole room.

Also, as mentioned at the start (which was, admittedly, some time back),there are no traps in this quest.

Mardibeth finds 84 gold coins in the chest!

Works for me. Which door?

Also, I keep forgetting: four new cards have been shuffled into the treasure deck!
